Technical SEO Checklist for Delhi Business Websites

Most Delhi business websites are losing Google rankings due to easily fixable technical issues. This technical SEO checklist covers the critical fixes that directly impact how Google crawls, indexes, and ranks your site — whether you run a B2B company in Gurugram, an e-commerce store in Noida, or a service business in South Delhi.

1. Website Speed & Core Web Vitals

  • Page load time under 3 seconds on mobile
  • Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) under 2.5 seconds
  • Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) score below 0.1
  • First Input Delay (FID) / Interaction to Next Paint (INP) under 200ms
  • Compress all images (use WebP format where possible)
  • Enable browser caching and GZIP compression
  • Use a CDN for faster global delivery

2. Mobile Optimisation

  • Fully responsive design on all screen sizes
  • No intrusive interstitials or pop-ups on mobile
  • Touch targets (buttons, links) at least 48px in size
  • Pass Google's Mobile-Friendly Test
  • Mobile and desktop versions serve the same content (no mobile-only content hiding)

3. Indexability & Crawlability

  • XML sitemap submitted to Google Search Console
  • robots.txt file configured correctly — not accidentally blocking key pages
  • No critical pages with "noindex" tags
  • Canonical tags on all duplicate or similar content pages
  • Internal links are crawlable (no JavaScript-only navigation)
  • No broken internal links (404 errors)

4. HTTPS & Security

  • SSL certificate installed and valid
  • All HTTP pages redirect to HTTPS
  • No mixed content warnings (HTTP assets on HTTPS pages)
  • Security headers configured (X-Frame-Options, Content Security Policy)

5. URL Structure & Architecture

  • Clean, descriptive URLs (no random strings or session IDs)
  • Consistent URL structure — no trailing slash inconsistencies
  • No deep page hierarchy (important pages within 3 clicks of homepage)
  • Breadcrumbs implemented for e-commerce or multi-level sites

6. Structured Data (Schema Markup)

  • LocalBusiness schema on homepage (essential for Delhi local SEO)
  • FAQ schema on relevant pages
  • Article schema on blog posts
  • Product schema for e-commerce pages
  • Review/Rating schema where applicable
  • Validate with Google's Rich Results Test

7. On-Page Technical Elements

  • Unique title tags on every page (50–60 characters)
  • Unique meta descriptions on every page (150–160 characters)
  • Single H1 tag per page
  • Proper heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3)
  • Alt text on all images
  • No keyword stuffing in meta tags or headings

Their website was five years old, had fewer than 10 pages, and received fewer than 100 visitors per month — almost all from branded searches (people who already knew their name).
